--1h3-----3---1----- 
               ---- 
 
I usually like to end it on a G chord like xx0003 (low to high), because the missing lower notes gives it a more delicate ending if you use a ritard.   
 
 
Lyrics to Footsteps: 
 
(verse) 
Don't even think about reaching me, 
I won't be home. 
Don't even think about stoppin' by, 
Don't think of me... at all. 
 
(bridge) 
Oh, I did what I had to do, 
if there was a reason, it was you. 
 
(verse) 
Don't even think about gettin' inside 
of voices in my head... oohm, voices. 
 
(bridge) 
Oh, I got scratches all over my arms, 
One for each pain since I fell apart. 
Oh, I did what I had to do, 
If there was a reason, it was you... 
 
(Chorus) 
Footsteps in the hall 
It was you, you.... 
Oh, pictures on my desk, 
It was you, it was you.. 
 
(main riff) 
 
(bridge) 
Oh, I--I did what I had to do, 
And if there was a reason, there wasn't no reason, no no, 
oh, and if there's something you'd like to do, 
Just let me to continue to blame you... 
 
(Chorus) 
Footsteps in the hall 
It was you, you... 
Oh, pictures on my desk, 
It was you, it was you...
